(Watch Ranil's vote of thanks to the opposition)
With the revolutionary change on the 9th of Jan.. (why is it revolutionary? - because it was the 1st time that an incumbent President was defeated, nothing more, nothing less, don't get excited :p)...
... as a Nation Sri Lanka began it's maturing process.
Yes maybe this 100 days was an adolescence period where the present Gov tried to lash out in frustration at some of the misdeeds by the previous regime like a teenager would lash out at their parents.
The adoption of the 19th Amendment was definitely an adult choice (mostly by the opposition as mentioned by Ranil)
Now the question is - will this Nation (who today I believe is having the maturity of someone in their mid twenties) turn into a success story like the Mark Zuckerbergs and the Steve Jobs who all started in their mid twenties. Or, like some of the Young Twenty year olds - make some dumb choices which they will regret for most of their lives?
Breathe the fresh air, clear your mind and THINK - the way that the Nation (which is its people) act in the next few months will be crucial to determining the Sri Lanka that we will gift our future generations.
P.S: If you were wondering where we were before the 9th of Jan - I would say Sri Lanka was an 8 year old spoilt brat with no discipline what so ever! Comment with some of your favorite memories of that brat so that we can have a laugh and also remind ourselves that we will NEVER go back to being a brat! :)
